Sorry but I don’t have anyone IRL to share how happy I am about this. All my real-life drafts have been really disappointing and I was feeling down on myself.

Deck was Red-White with a focus on roles and enchantments. I got [[Archon of the Wild Rose]] and [[A Tale for the Ages]] Pack 2 Pick 1 and Pack 2 Pick 2 respectively. [[Savior of the Sleeping]] is a card I have played with a bunch but have never utilised properly before now. My two Saviors were probably the MVPs, I managed to frequently get them quite buffed-up.

Looking back over my draft and I realize now that I didn’t wind-up using my first three picks! I realized late into the first pack that White seemed really open, so when Pack 2 came around, and I got those two really helpful rares, I got the sense I was onto a good thing.

    Thanks :D I’d been on a run of curving out really well and then top-decking until my opponents found a way to win so I kind of over-compensated on card advantage but it turned out hugely beneficial. Not sure I’ve ever played [[Witch’s Mark]] before tonight but it’s now secured a place in my heart.

    Like I said, White was really, really open, so I had the luxury of getting all the best white cards. Have to admit that I completely missed that sacking [[Hopeful Vigil]] would proc [[Savior of the Sleeping]]. When it happened for the first time I got quite excited 😂
